The sky was filled with life, Clouds blossomed into rain, and the sun still shun over the land. The peaceful meadows lunged under the skies and let the light show the world the true beauty of mother nature’s great work. The trees sat at the side, letting the shade run under them, and leaving the wind soaring through the branches, letting few leaves drop to the ground. A few birds chirped out their songs on some branches, the branches swayed a bit, but the birds stayed as they continued their song. A world of great peace seemed impossible, until the day when someone would find his fate, to live in this world.

His eyes slowly slid open, he laid in a forest, the surroundings were completely different to where he was last time. Slowly rubbing his eyes, he got up, his heart raced as he realized that he was lost, and had no idea how he got here. It wasn’t long until he noticed, he wasn’t human, he was a four legged creature. The only thing he could do to release his fear was to let it out in a loud scream.

“FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU”

Nearby birds flew away from the source of the loud noise, the ‘boy’ quickly ran to the pond by his side, passing something that seemed familiar, and looked in the water. The reflection revealed a unicorn, the coat was a light grey, with a darkened brown mane. His eye’s stayed the same colour, the chocolate colour that followed him through his entire life. The most notable feature was the horn emerging from his mane which, just like his coat, was grey. The unicorn wanted to scream in terror as he realized where he was, he was in Equestria. He had seen the show, read fan fictions, but he would never have imagined that he would be transported to this make believe world.

The only thing that stopped him from doing anything was the familiar object that he had passed by. He turned his head, and was greeted by the sight of his trusty laptop bag.

“How, did that get here?” questioned the unicorn as he wandered towards his bag.

Inside the bag was, well, his laptop, still in great shape, the power cord was gone, much to his dismay. He sighed as he awkwardly unzipped the bag with his mouth and lifted the lid of his laptop with his new horn, which he used as levering tool. He then realized another problem, he lacked fingers to even operate the laptop with. The unicorn released a painful sigh, first he was in a strange dimension, and now his most precious item was a pile of junk. After he had closed his eyes for a few minutes to think, he sighed and zipped the bag up. If he was in Equestria, he needed to know where Ponyville was, and being in the middle of possibly the Everfree Forest, he had to advance.

Once he had finished putting the strap of his bag over his body, the unicorn started marching past the overgrown trees, feeling the leaves hit against him. He felt going left from the pond was the right way to Ponyville, hoping not to cross paths with only thing he truly feared, the dreaded manticore.

It had been a couple of hours, and all he could see was the same thing, trees, trees, and more trees. The unicorn groaned. He really wanted to get out of the godforsaken forest. The thing that annoyed him the most was the wind, it was a very windy day, which he had anticipated when it blew a dead tree into his path. At this point, he wanted to punch the jerk which had brought him into this world. He wished that he had been teleported into the town instead of getting teleported into the forest.

“Why the fuck does God hate me? I have never sinned in my life, the only sinners are everybody else!” The unicorn muttered

“Last time I checked, I wasn’t the one trying to look like some fucking gangster wannabe, wearing my bloody hat backwards..” The unicorn continued

“And to make shit worse, I have my laptop with me, its like they are trolling me, like, “Oh hey I’m just going to give you your computer, cause you can’t do shit with it” seriously, what is with that?”

“But now that I think about it, if Celestia brought me here, wouldn't she send Twilight and her friends to find me? On the other hand, she probably would have sent me to Ponyville in the first place.”

“Maybe Discord se- No, he is trapped inside a statue, he was friggin stoned last time I checked.”

“Actually, I just realized that I don’t remember my name, I can remember everything else, just, names, odd, meh, maybe my computer has my name in it, once I find a work around..”

So many things were going through his head, and when he stopped to focus on one, he would talk to himself, it was a habit he developed from playing games by himself, it kept him entertained, and sane. A loud scream echoed through the forest, and a fearsome roar followed it, the unicorn froze in fear, praying to whomever that he would survive. The scream continued, and the the unicorn slowly noticed that the scream was getting closer, and closer, in fact, he could make out a darkened figure from the trees behind him. Trying to get a closer look, he could just barely make out what the runaway pony looked like.

It was a Pegasus, the coat was the colour of the night sky, black, his mane a deep maroon. It took only moments before he realized what the Pegasus was running from, he was running from a furious Manticore. Quickly turning around, the unicorn started sprinting through the leaves and grass on the ground, dodging the roots that stuck out of the ground. Turning his head back every few seconds didn’t seem to help, the unknown pony and the manticore were get closer and the screaming grew louder.

“Dude, fucking fly, instead of screaming like a little girl!” cried out the unicorn

“I don’t know how to fly!” yelled back the Pegasus, ceasing the screams

“What? What kind of fucking Pegasus are you?”

“Well use your magic if you are so great.”

“I don’t even know how to use magic, I just got here!”

“Well goes to show that you’re just another fucking hypocrite!”

“Shut up!”

“No you!”

“No fuck you!"

“Just keep running, unless you want to face the Manticore yourself”

“Dude, that is fucking suidsida-“

The unicorns words were cut short as he realized that the Manticore was gone.

“Hey, the Manticore is gone.”

“Seriously?” The Pegasus turned his head and, amazingly, the Manticore was gone.

“That was some close shit.” yelled out the Pegasus

“Well keep running anyways.”

“Nah, not like that I want to find out if the Manticore is hiding, and then he murders me." The Pegasus replied, snidely.

“Shut up.”

“No fuck you.”

The rest of the trip continued on with a lot of fuck yous, and some Shut ups. What seemed like arguing and hatred, was actually them getting along really well. It took them only an hour until they finally stopped, the end of the forest could be seen in the far distance. The unicorn panted heavily, he had never walked this far in his life, it seemed like an impossible distance. The unicorn lifted his head up, and noticed that tips of the pegasi's mane were white, his eyes an ocean blue.

“Hey!” called out the unicorn

“What?” replied the confused Pegasus

“What’s your name?”

“Honestly, I can’t remember, how about you?”

“Me neither.”

“Well, if we are going to stick together for a while we should get to know each other. So where do you live?”

“The planet Earth or, to be more specific, Australia.”

“Wow, same here. What a coincidence.” The pair of ponies walked a short distance before the unicorn asked his mysterious companion another question.

“So how old are you? I’m twenty-three.”

“Twenty-two.” The pegasus said with no emotion in his voice, “What high school did you go to?”

“Wisteria High”

“I know of it, got any school stories?”

“Well, I remember my best friend was quite the prankster, always getting himself into trouble, anyway, this one time we were in class and this guy left his cell phone in his coat and went to go to the computers at the school library. So we took the phone out of his coat, no keypad lock, and uploaded sex sounds onto his phone. We sent it via Bluetooth and cranked his volume up all the way. We put it back in his coat. Anyway, this teacher is in the hallway working on some posters when he walked back in and resumed the class. The dude came back about ten minutes later and sat down. My buddy, who was sitting 2 rows from the front, against the wall, rang his phone and well, yea, you can guess what happened next.” The unicorn said, trying to muffle his laughter

.

The pegasus stopped in his tracks. He turned to the unicorn and spoke with a slowly increasing enthusiasm sneaking into his voice “Did he always wear a dark red newsboy cap and black zip-up jacket?”

“Well yea w-.” The realization hit him.

“Niko, my cousin!”

“Holy shit! My bro, why didn't I realize that you were him? Bro hug time!”

The Pegasus, and the unicorn did a mini hug, it lasted for 10 seconds before they realized how gay it looked.

“Okay, now, we go off, onto the grand adventure of the shits, and the Dinosaurs, and the yea, yea” exclaimed the unicorn as he lead the way. The Pegasus followed behind him, following the unicorn out of the forest, the light that emerged from the entrance was blinding, but being in a shady forest was getting a bit old. As the duo exited the forest, Ponyville was in view, they were speechless at the sight, it was better than what it showed on the show.

“Holy fuck, it's Ponyville” exclaimed the Unicorn

“No shit Sherlock.”

“Fuck you.”

"No burn in hell."

The unicorn couldn’t help but put a smirk on his face, having these fun arguments was funny, that was the only reason why they did this.

“Well you should shut up cause your mom said that you weren’t brushing your teeth properly.”

“Shut up.”

“No fuck you.”

“No fuck you and I hope you die in a fi-.“

“HEY!”

The ‘conversation’ ended as a Pink pony bounced toward them, it was obvious who this mare was, it was Pinkie Pie. She stopped right in front of the duo, giving then a wide grin that could go on for miles, everypony knew that she loved meeting new ponies. The unicorn sighed, giving the Pegasus a sign that he should talk.

“Good day to you madam, me and my asso-. ”

“Hello, OH MY GOSH, You’re new aren't you?!”

“Um, yes, I uhh, need assistanc-.“

“WONDERFUL, I’m going to set up a welcome party for you two, oh its going to be SO great, there is going to be DOUBLE the cakes, DOUBLE the Cupcakes, DOUBLE the gummy fun time, and DOUBLE the FUN!” Before the pegasus could say anything, the pink pony turns into a pink blur, and disappeared from the face of Equestria. The unicorn groaned as he rubbed the area between his eyes with his hoof, and looked up for a brief second.

“This is going to be a long day.”
